Willow Creek

Willow Creek, a Percheron breeder in Moulton, IA, is situated in Appanoose County and south-central Iowa near Des Moines. The farm adheres to standards set by the National Percheron Registry, and each stallion and mare receives routine veterinary exams, farrier visits, and conformation evaluations.

Horses live on open pastures with daily turnout and access to shaded paddocks, and younger stock benefit from regular hands-on handling to encourage a calm disposition. Feed is tailored to individual needs, and foals learn basic lead and grooming skills alongside older horses.

The operation has upheld draft horse traditions for multiple generations, blending modern welfare practices with time-honored husbandry. Many graduates from Willow Creek have gone on to roles in local pulling competitions and community farm events where their steady temperament and strength are valued. Seasonal pasture rotation and barn stall maintenance help minimize stress and support digestive health.
